Balloon rocket

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A balloon rocket is a balloon filled with air (or another gas ) . If necessary, a little more water can be added to the balloon before inflating . It is started by letting go of the balloon opening. It is propelled by the recoil of the escaping gas. The flight altitude is a few meters.

The balloon rocket has no technical significance. It is often used as a cheap and safe device to demonstrate the recoil drive.
